I'm posting this here, cause I already posted this problem at Blackwyrm's Lair, but I can't get a decent answer there. Only comments about not supporting the installed mods. (they are compatible according to the various sources on this forum).

Anyways, this is my problem:

I played the main quest of TS taking the good path and resurrecting Kashimo. I entered Spellhold through the pirate king. Then, this blabla the sane fellow introduced me to spellhold and the inmates. When I slept, Irenicus teleported in and began his long conversation. Yoshimo told him that the curse had been lifted etc etc.
Then, the scene started with the protagonist in the tube. (from a quick glance I could see that Yoshi was still in my party) And at the moment the soul sucking from the shadow thieves should start, nothing happened. My char just stood there in the tube doing nothing. Irenicus just stood there doing nothing. At some point I decided for fun to see what happened if I slinged some bullets at Irenicus. At that moment the whole scene started again, but this time with Yoshi betraying me. And then the soul sucking DID happen and the dream etc etc.
Is there anything that can be done about this?

PS I have installed:

*Full BGII SOA+TOB+26498_patch

*G3 BG2 Fixpack Beta2 (instead of Baldurdash)
*Shadows over Soubar V1.11
*The Darkest Day V1.11
*Check The Bodies V1.8 (what does the seperate Chores file do?)
*Tortured Souls BP V6.07

*AjocsMinimod Weidu
*Deeper Shadows of Amn V2.2
*Exnem Vault V5
*Planar Sphere Return V2 Weidu
*Planar Sphere Mod V2.2
*Return to Trademeet Itempack
*Realm of the Bhaalspawn Armor Set v1.0
*The Black Rose Part 1: Market Prices (does it really need the Warriors Kitpack?)
*Rolles V2
*Ribalds Genie V2.4
*Unfinished Business V1.5
*Weimer ItemUpgrade V3.3
*Ruad
*BagBonus V1.0
*Boards of Magick Item Pack

*BP V1.77

*The Longer Road V1.5.1
*PnPCelestials V3
*D0Tweaks V1.8
*G3 BG2 Tweaks V1

*BP-BGT Worldmap V6.3

I did watch out for incompatibilities of the various tweakpack components

PS 2: Why not add my weidu log as well

UB's "Suna Seni" comes to my mind. I had Valygar with me and also have stuck there. I've reloaded the game, then cluaed myself to the "tube" level, then created PPSUNA.CRE in front of main tube, then cluaed back and waited for Irenicus. Everything was fine.
If you don't have Valygar with you then it's smth else.


EDIT:
I don't know anything about repeating scene and Yosh's betraying and successful completing the scene.

well, that is Vlad's right to support or not support whatever mod combination he chooses: that's why we tell ppl to come here if they're using his mods as part of a mega install.

Then, the scene started with the protagonist in the tube. (from a quick glance I could see that Yoshi was still in my party) And at the moment the soul sucking from the shadow thieves should start, nothing happened. My char just stood there in the tube doing nothing. Irenicus just stood there doing nothing. At some point I decided for fun to see what happened if I slinged some bullets at Irenicus.

i'm not sure what needs to be done for you: you seem to have got it working, thru an ugly but effective workaround. there's clearly an issue with TS-BP and BP working together - my guess (cos i was loking at the spellhold scene last night) is that BP has misnamed one or more of the cutscenes that can happen, depending upon yr actions. these files don't need ot be added by BP (TS-BP can do all the heavy lifting) so it'll be fixed for a future BPv178.

*Check The Bodies V1.8 (what does the seperate Chores file do?)

the separate chores mod allows yuo to skip doing the chores (or do them faster, as you choose)

Actually I don't, because in the end when I DO get the cutscene to start, Yoshimo suddenly left the party after all, even though he told Irenicus that the geas are removed. Also, as the scene starts again, Yoshimo apologizes for his betrayal and says there's no other way. So somehow, when the scene starts again after hurting irenicus, yoshimo's redemption through the mainquest of TS doesn't seem to have happened.

Yippie! That worked! Thanks so much :D I'm glad, because I've been able to play this monsterinstallation so far without any problems. No major ones anyhow *raps knuckles on wood* Let's hope it stays this way.
Anyways, the problem seems indeed to lie with Suna Seni not being present in the cutscene.

interesting: so there really IS a conflict between TS and UB. god to know for future reference.
